Hey hey!

Well since the Sydney crew are coming up on the 23rd of April i thought we should at least give them a warm reception! So i've planned to arrive down at the foreshore around midday to grab some carpark spaces and so we can chat, bbq, etc untill they arrive.

Date: 23rd April 2006.

Time: 11:45am - Midday.

Where: Newcastle foreshore (try to get around the middle area next to one of those big car parking areas).

Who: The loyal newcastle skyline crew!

So make sure you bring a comfy chair, sky of food and drink and lots of sunblock (or even better.... a big beach type umbrella). Hopefully we can get a few of use together so we can catchup before the sydney cars arrive, because we will be too busy introducing ourselves to them when they arrive later on!!

List of cars so far: (10)

d-d (Dave)

Ezz35 (Matt)

Mum's Taxi

OPASEN (Matt)

Monkeykplunk (Ian)

Donnie (1)

Donnie (2)

Donnie (3)

weapn (Dave) (Arriving later)

ULOOOK (Josh+Krystle) (Arriving later)

----------------------------

Hope you all can make it for a fun, relaxing day :P

Dave.

You f**kin better be you bastard!

I'll be there.

I'm off to supercheap now to pick up some power steering fluid, cause its startin to squeel like a pig when I turn the wheel :D

That, and you'll all have to forgive me for the incredibly annoying fan belt noise when I start the car, as it's also decided to start doing that and I have no idea how to change or tighten a fan belt....lol

See yas there!

ok well who out of us newy crew were a little dissapointed with the sydeny to newy cruise that was on this sunday just passed?? i was a little cause we went down with a few of us to meet these guys at the twin servos and they just drove past... also by the time most of us finally made it into town they had gone home already.... can come one tell me just how much time they spent in out fine city??? casue it seemed like only half an hour?? how come they didnt stay for longer?? i duno if im just being a sook but i would have stayed for longer if i had driven that far.....

im not havin a stir im just sayin it seemd a bit pointless thats all...... no harm intended.....

Yeah i gotta agree, it suked ass, by the time we finally fouund you guys, you were all leaving.

yea I agree on that.

we rocked up into town expecting to see 50+ skylines and found none..

we drove around for 15 mins tryin to find everyone

by the time we did people slowly started leavin...

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
